Chapter 130 -130, 131 Terahertz Communication Technology?

December 25th, Suzhou Satellite Launch Center.

The Long March series carrier rockets have been installed on the launch pad. Initially, the manufacture of this rocket was not intended for launching Sky Net Satellites, but for launching satellites into Moon synchronous orbit.

Due to the urgent needs of the Sky Net project, this rocket together with two others—one hastily manufactured and the other also requisitioned—were used.

Thus, the Sky Net Satellite team was able to gather three carrier rockets in a short amount of time.

“Forty-eight Sky Net Satellites are ready!” In front of the launch tower, He Xingzhou and Hou Jinxiu were conducting pre-launch checks.

This particular Long March Carrier Rocket was equipped with sixteen Sky Net Quantum Network Satellites!

Theoretically, to cover the global satellite network, three satellites are needed in Earth’s synchronous orbit.

However, their Sky Net Satellites lacked such high power, so He Xingzhou arranged sixteen Sky Net Satellites in each of the three orbits to ensure efficient and frequent data transmission!

Similarly, two additional launch towers were constructed. They are all built quickly using special high-temperature-resistant alloy structures, and now all three rockets with forty-eight Sky Net Quantum Network Satellites are ready to be launched.

“Six more hours.” He Xingzhou looked at the time, saying, “At four in the afternoon, launch the rocket on time.”

“Alright, all team members listen clearly!” Hou Jinxiu shouted into the communicator, “The whole system, carry out the final checks. Today, the three rockets and forty-eight satellites, not a single error is permitted!”

“Received!” The entire satellite launch center was busy with a tension-filled final check.

…

On the internet, He Xingzhou’s account had already posted an announcement in advance.

“Today at four in the afternoon, at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, let us witness the Sky Net Satellites ascend and form a network!”

This event was completely unannounced beforehand, and the sudden post by He Xingzhou sparked widespread attention online.

“Amazing, I just dreamt that He Xingzhou posted, and lo and behold, there it was!”

“What are Sky Net Satellites for?”

“??? An announcement on the same day? There was no prior notification!”

“I have class in the afternoon, do I need to take my phone to class to watch this?”

“@Planet Builder, elaborate more, what are Sky Net Satellites for?”

Many netizens were puzzled, and at this time, the space agency’s account clarified.

Shen Zhou space agency released new information: “Today at 16:00, we will launch three Long March Carrier Rockets at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, which will deploy forty-eight Sky Net Satellites into orbit to form a network!”

“Sky Net Satellites, developed by comrades like He Xingzhou, Hou Jinxiu, and their team, are the world’s first quantum network satellites. They possess capabilities of quantum communication and global network communication,”

“After the complete network formation of the Sky Net Satellites, you will be able to use a network signal 100 to over 1000 times faster than 5G in every corner of the world, with signal strength dependent on the capability of the receiving devices…”

The announcement did not mention its space remote sensing mapping and positioning capabilities, to prevent being envied or attacked by some.

But even just this half of the functionalities has already excited the entire network!

“Global networking, even 1000 times faster than 5G. I heard that 6G is only 100 times faster than 5G; this is incredible!”

“Musk’s Starlink network cannot compare at all to this Sky Net Quantum Network! And they say it takes 12,000 satellites; we only use 48!”

“Haha, I have a premonition, just wait until this network is successfully formed, more advanced intelligent devices will emerge!”

“Wishing you a successful launch, I’ll be watching on time this afternoon!”

“Our company boss declared, our afternoon job is to watch the live stream. Cool, right?”

Netizens were eagerly waiting for the four o’clock live broadcast of the rocket launch.

This news, naturally, also drew the attention of various nations.

In Bai ying’s office, an aide reported: “The intelligence only shows, they’ve recently gathered many scientists, researching communications technology, and we hadn’t anticipated such a swift development.”

“Was there any prior information about the Sky Net Quantum Communication Satellite?”

“Could it be a military satellite?” The leader asked, concerned about this as the other party claims their satellite network can cover the globe. If it has additional functions, it could be a very dangerous signal.

“Not likely,” the aide said, “Our experts believe that the Long March series rockets they used, with near-Earth orbit transport capacity around twenty tons, need to carry 16 satellites per rocket, each satellite approximately weighing one ton. With such mass, the equipment it can carry is limited, and achieving global network communication is already extremely challenging.”

The leader nodded, and the aide continued, “Regarding their claim about the global quantum network surpassing our next-generation communication technology under development, further verification is necessary.”

“It really doesn’t give one peace of mind, a fine Christmas!” The leader felt weary; he had to attend several Christmas events today, but his mind was occupied with this matter.

In Northern Europe, the Global Communication Technology Alliance also discussed this matter.

“It’s absolutely impossible!” Beck declared emphatically, “They might achieve a quantum communication network, but it can’t possibly be faster than the sixth-generation communication technology we are researching!”

“The electromagnetic wave communication frequency limits them! Currently, we have not found any electromagnetic wave or transmitter that can meet this requirement!”

“Do you mean this is just a stunt?” Chairman Nelson asked.
